Calls for sanctions in response to Bucha ‘massacre’

The Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has asked the world to respond to the "massacre" that he says has occurred in the town of Bucha, near Kyiv, Qazet.az reports.

"Russians aim to eliminate as many Ukrainians as they can," he said in a Twitter post, calling on the G7 group of the world's richest nations to impose sanctions on Russia in response.

Separately, the President of the EU Council Charles Michel has also used the word "massacre" to describe the scenes revealed in Bucha after Russian forces retreated from the town.
